It's the system that decides how a pair of glasses moves from a vendor shipment to a customer's doorstep, across every geography Lenskart serves. It runs on async event chains, shared inventory ledgers, and dozens of services calling each other in real time - which makes testing it a genuinely different problem from testing a typical CRUD app.\nWhat you'll own\n· End-to-end automation across the fulfillment chain - picking → QC → packing → manifest → dispatch - spanning 30+ services, not a single app.\n· Event-contract testing on Kafka - validating producer/consumer correctness across async hops (order hand-off, QC-pass events, manifest-close events, exception routing) where a broken contract fails silently until it doesn't.\n· Data-consistency and reconciliation testing across the shared inventory ledger and the consolidated inventory layer - this is the class of bug that doesn't crash anything, it just quietly oversells stock across channels.\n· Scaling the automation framework itself - distributed/parallelized test execution, containerized test runners, and CI/CD integration so suites stay fast as the service count keeps growing.\n· API and contract testing across REST/Feign inter-service calls, plus failure-injection testing for the exception-management state machine (retries, dead-letter topics, escalation paths).\n· Performance/load testing for peak-demand periods.\n· Chaos testing for Blast radius.\n· Partnering directly with engineering leads on quality gates and shift-left practices and sitting in architecture reviews for new services as a design-time voice, not a post-release gate.\n· Mentoring - raising the automation bar across the SDET function, not just your own output.\nRequirements\nMust-have\n· 2+ years in automation/SDET roles, with real depth in backend API automation (REST + message-driven systems), not primarily UI automation.\n· Strong Java + a test framework (TestNG/JUnit, RestAssured or equivalent).\n· Hands-on experience testing event-driven/Kafka-based architectures.\n· Strong SQL and comfort reasoning about data consistency across distributed services.\n· CI/CD experience (Jenkins/GitLab CI) and experience scaling test execution (parallelization, containerization).\n· Solid grasp of microservices failure modes - idempotency, retries, eventual consistency, partial failure.\nNice-to-have\n· Experience testing warehouse, OMS, or logistics/supply-chain platforms.\n· Load-testing tools (JMeter/locust/gatiling/k6).\n· Exposure to Elasticsearch, Redis, and observability tooling.\n· Chaos-engineering or fault-injection experience.\nWhy this role matters\nA bug caught here isn't a UI glitch - it's a misship, a wrong invoice, or a SKU oversold across a live channel. Lenskart delivers across multiple geographies simultaneously, each with different tax regimes, couriers, and cutoff rules running through the same platform - building automation that holds up under that is a rare, senior-level problem, not a checkbox exercise.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3341,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Eyewear","Optometry & Optical Stores"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T20:52:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.559,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":140,"expected_fill_days":117,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lenskart-sdet-qa","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lenskart-sdet-qa.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T04:17:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5456,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":689},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=689"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flenskart-sdet-qa"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flenskart-sdet-qa"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flenskart-sdet-qa"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lenskart-sdet-qa\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flenskart-sdet-qa"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":655289}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lenskart.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":655289},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
